Refusal: deciding to pull the tube.
A senior medical student grapples with her patient's end-of-life decisions, which are in stark contrast to the decisions made by her own grandfather facing a similar disease. As she explores her role and responsibility to her patient, she considers what it means to provide futile care and how to negotiate her own beliefs with the demands of her patient's family.

متن کاملWarming the tracheal tube and kinking.
To the Editor: We read with interest the letter on intratracheal kinking of an endotracheal tube by Lee et al.1 The authors highlighted that, in addition to various known causes of obstruction of the endotracheal tube, intratracheal kinking at the site where the inflating lumen opens into the cuff can also cause its obstruction.

متن کاملThe Nasogastric Tube in the Thorax after Gastric Pull Up!
Although nasogastric tube (NGT) is a simple procedure, the blind placement of nasogastric feeding tubes is not without risks. Chest radiogram is done to confirm the correct position of the NGT. We report a case where radiography could not be confirmatory for the correct position of the tube in a specific group of patients.
متن کاملNano-optomechanical actuator and pull-back instability.
This paper studies the nonlinear behavior of a nano-optomechanical actuator, consisting of a free-standing arc in a ring resonator that is coupled to a bus waveguide through evanescent waves. The arc deflects when a control light of a fixed wavelength and optical power is pumped into the bus waveguide, while the amount of deflection is monitored by measuring the transmission spectrum of a broad...
